On Saturday night, on an eventful girls night out in the Meat Packing district in NYC, I met Robert Buckley!!! You might not recognize his real name, but does Kirby from Lipstick Jungle ring a bell? How about his photo?

Robert Buckley aka Kirby Atwood aka Hunk

This is how it all went down…

So, as we (the girls and I) were walking into the club Tenjune, I saw him walk out towards to bathroom, and I pretty much FREAKED out! I was slightly tipsy at this point so my freak out was a little more than normal. After my friends, which includes Jen, another huge Lipstick Jungle fan, calmed me down, I proceeded to try and act normal. At the club, we were dancing right next to him and his 2 other friends. As the night went on, and I got tipsy-er and ‘braver’, I impulsively turned around as said to him: “You look familiar!” and he goes “Oh my god! Highschool?”.

Yes, it was slightly smug and cocky, but it was also slightly stupid of me to just talk to him at a club while he was just trying to hang out. He was actually quite civil, spoke to me, introduced himself as Rob, and even his friend who happened to be named Bob. Then they both politely cheersed (?… toasted?) me which was a clear sign that they wanted to be left alone.

Well, thanks ROB for being nice and gracing me with your presence! I’m a little embarrassed now about talking to him, but I blame it on being starstruck.
